Knowing your biological age is powerful, but understanding how fast it is changing unlocks a deeper level of insight. My Bio Age introduces Pace of Aging, a feature that tracks whether your biological age is increasing faster, slower, or at the same rate as chronological time. By analyzing 4-week comparisons and 14-week rolling averages, Pace of Aging transforms static snapshots into dynamic trends you can act on before small setbacks compound.

How Pace of Aging works

Every four weeks, My Bio Age calculates the change in your MyBioAge Index and compares it to the actual time elapsed. If your biological age increased by six months while only four weeks passed, you are aging faster than chronological time. If it improved by two months, you are aging in reverse relative to the calendar. The app also maintains a 14-week rolling average to smooth out short-term variability and reveal true directional trends.

4-week snapshots. Short-term comparisons highlight immediate impacts from training blocks, diet changes, or stress cycles.
14-week rolling averages. Longer windows filter noise and confirm whether interventions are working over multiple months.
Visual trend lines. Charts inside the app show Pace of Aging overlaid with major life events, making it easy to connect cause and effect.

Why velocity matters as much as position

A single biological age reading tells you where you stand today. Pace of Aging tells you where you are headed. If your biological age is currently favorable but accelerating upward, you know to intervene before the trend erodes months of progress. Conversely, if your biological age is higher than you would like but decelerating or reversing, you gain confidence that your current habits are working. Velocity transforms biological age from a static number into a feedback loop.

Common Pace of Aging patterns and what they mean

Aging faster than time. If Pace of Aging is positive and accelerating, the app flags specific drivers—often poor Recovery Capacity, declining VO₂max, or accumulated sleep debt. Immediate action might include adding rest days, reducing training intensity, or prioritizing sleep hygiene.

Aging on pace with time. A neutral Pace of Aging means your biological age is holding steady relative to chronological time. This is a maintenance zone where small tweaks can tip the balance toward improvement.

Aging slower than time (reverse aging). Negative Pace of Aging signals that your biological age is dropping while time moves forward. This happens when VO₂max climbs, HRV stabilizes, Recovery Capacity strengthens, and sleep quality improves consistently. The app celebrates these windows and encourages you to lock in the habits driving them.

Using Pace of Aging to guide experiments

Pace of Aging is ideal for testing interventions. Considering a new training protocol, sleep supplement, or stress management technique? Track Pace of Aging before and after the change using the 4-week snapshot. If the trend improves, you have validated the intervention. If it worsens, you know to pivot. This approach turns your health optimization into a data-driven process rather than guesswork.

Viewing Pace of Aging in the app

Open My Bio Age and navigate to the Pace of Aging section. You will see your current 4-week rate, the 14-week rolling average, and a historical chart spanning your entire tracking history. Tap any data point to view the underlying MyBioAge Index drivers—VO₂max, HRV, Recovery Capacity, Sleep, and more—so you can pinpoint what accelerated or decelerated aging during that window. Export these trends as PDFs to share with coaches or physicians for collaborative planning.

Pace of Aging is live now for all My Bio Age users. Start tracking your aging velocity today and take control of the trajectory, not just the snapshot.
